Soup
A Recipe for
Healing after Loss
Text by Pat
Schwiebert, Text by Chuck DeKlyen, Illustrated by Taylor Bills
In this modern-day fable, a woman who has suffered a terrible loss cooks up
a special batch of “tear soup,” blending the unique ingredients of her life
into the grief process. Along the way she dispenses a recipe of sound advice
for people who are in mourning or know someone who has suffered a loss. The
book is richly illustrated with poignant and detailed pictures.
This book presents a profound message in a sublime way for children, as well
as people of all ages. An appendix in the book contains a helpful listing of
grief support groups for a variety of situations. Grief counselors and
ministers of many denominations have found Tear Soup a helpful book for
those in the first stages of mourning.
